Today my conversation is with none other than the beloved, the brilliant, Lindy West. </h3>Lindy is the author of four books, The New York Times bestselling memoir, <a href="https://splitrockbooks.com/book/9780316348461" target="_blank">Shrill</a>, as well as the essay collections, <a href="https://splitrockbooks.com/book/9780316449861" target="_blank">The Witches Are Coming</a> and <a href="https://splitrockbooks.com/book/9780316449823" target="_blank">Shit, Actually</a>, and her brand new memoir <a href="https://splitrockbooks.com/book/9780306831836" target="_blank">Adult Braces</a>, out now.Lindy is a former contributing opinion writer for The New York Times.

She is the co-host of the comedy podcast, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TextMeBackPod" target="_blank">Text Me Back!!!</a> and the author of the newsletter <a href="https://buttnews.substack.com/" target="_blank">Butt News</a>. Lindy was a writer and executive producer on <a href="https://www.hulu.com/series/54eab813-3a9b-496d-9d7e-908597ad8d1a" target="_blank">Shrill</a>, the Hulu comedy adapted from her memoir, and she co-wrote and produced the independent feature film, <a href="https://www.thinskinmovie.com/" target="_blank">Thin Skin</a>. She lives on the Olympic Peninsula in rural Washington state. Lindy joined me to chat about her brand new memoir, Adult Braces. We get into her relationship to fatness, having people comment rather relentlessly on her marriage, why more best friends should start podcasts and so much more—including a quesadilla she invents in real time while we recorded. You are going to love this one. This conversation with Lindy is so juicy that we're breaking it up into two episodes! In Part 1 we’re talking about her brand new memoir, Adult Braces, as well as her eating disorder therapy, being a public fat person and having people comment on her body and her marriage.<h3>In Part 2, we're getting into non-monogamy, the benefits of being in a throuple, podcasting and so much more! </h3>If you're already a paid subscriber, you've got both parts of the episode right here, right now in your inbox! <h3>Everyone else:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/virginiasolesmith/join" target="_blank"> Join Burnt Toast </a>today to hear the whole thing!
